SBC VNF for vE-CPE

AudioCodes’ SBC VNF has the lowest hardware footprint in the industry. This combined with the small footprint of Titanium Server CPE enables service providers to deploy a cost-effective, carrier-grade vE-CPE solution at customer premises. The SBC VNF supports cloud automation and provisioning mechanisms to assist service providers in reducing OPEX and time to service by automating the entire SBC VNF lifecycle. Service providers have the flexibility to deploy the SBC VNF on any leading hypervisor platform while preserving the same rich functionality as on the proprietary hardware SBCs. AudioCodes offers network-wide pool licensing for effective deployment within distributed architectures, enabling service providers to automate the process of launching new SBC VNFs and to scale them up and down according to customer demand.

SBC VNF for Access and Peering

AudioCodes’ SBC VNF is a highly scalable SBC suitable for service provider datacenters supporting access and peering functionality. It supports SIP interoperability, media handling including transcoding, and VoIP security. AudioCodes’ SBC VNF was certified by Miercom, a third party test lab, for its high performance and scalability under security attacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), malformed SIP messages and rogue RTP packets. The SBC VNF fully integrates with OpenStack cloud computing software and reduces operational costs with automation and efficient utilization of cloud resources. AudioCodes’ network-wide pool licensing offers flexible deployment models such as a single SBC VNF instance per tenant to achieve full isolation between tenants.
